description: Learn how to use Siliconflow models in Agno.

Siliconflow is a platform for providing endpoints for Large Language models.

Explore Siliconflow’s models [here](https://siliconflow.ai/models).

## Authentication

Set your `SILICONFLOW_API_KEY` environment variable. Get your key [from Siliconflow here](https://siliconflow.ai).

<CodeGroup>

```bash Mac
export SILICONFLOW_API_KEY=***
```

```bash Windows
setx SILICONFLOW_API_KEY ***
```

</CodeGroup>

## Example

Use `Siliconflow` with your `Agent`:

<CodeGroup>

```python agent.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.siliconflow import Siliconflow

agent = Agent(model=Siliconflow(), markdown=True)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story")

```

</CodeGroup>
